Book Title: To Be a Slave

Author: Julius Lester

Selection Statement:

I first read this book when I was 9 years old. The words of slaves are not tampered with, and drew me to the power of the narrative. Even now, I draw on its inspiration. A truth told with fullness—may we all strive toward that goal.
